A. Hello good evening !! Until 5 completed months exclusive breast milk or formula milk is suggested. From 6 month onwards start semi solids once a day and rest of the day milk either breastfeed or formula feed. Gradually after 2 weeks feed semi solids twice a day. Fruits and vegetables puriees, mashes- Mashed banana, papaya, chikoo puriee, Steamed and mashed apple, carrot , cerelac with pulses, grains, Soups, dal water, rice starch are suggested. Feed small quantity for 2-3 days check potty for digestion capability if no motions, vomitings, allergy, reddishness then continue that item (check suitability before introducing new food item).
